MASCHIO-Type Rotary Tiller: 1MB, 1MC & 1GK Series Guide
MASCHIO-Type Rotary Tiller: 3 Series, Multiple Configurations for Different Tractor Power and Working Needs
Choosing a rotary tiller is not simply about selecting a working width. Tractor horsepower, tillage depth, PTO speed, blade configuration and working conditions all affect which rotary tiller is suitable for a particular application.
To meet different tractor power requirements and field working needs, CXNOFIA now offers a range of MASCHIO-type rotary tiller configurations, covering the 1MB, 1MC and 1GK series.
With working widths from 120 cm to 360 cm and tractor power requirements from 35 HP to 200 HP, these configurations provide options for both smaller tractors and higher-horsepower agricultural applications.
Three Series for Different Tractor Power Ranges
The three series have different positioning and configuration characteristics.
| Series | Tractor Power | Working Width | Blade Type | Tillage Depth |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1MB | 45–100 HP | 150–230 cm | C-type knife | 13–18 cm |
| 1MC | 60–130 HP | 200–300 cm | C-type knife | 13–18 cm |
| 1GK | 35–220 HP* | 120–360 cm | Special cultivation knife | 13–18 cm / ≥12 cm* |
*The 1GK series contains different configurations. The 120–240 cm models are rated at 35–90 HP, while the larger 260–360 cm models are designed for 80–220 HP. The tillage-depth specification varies by configuration.
1MB Series: A Practical Choice for 45–100 HP Tractors
The 1MB series includes four configurations:
- 1MB-155
- 1MB-180
- 1MB-205
- 1MB-230
Working widths range from 150 cm to 230 cm, while the applicable tractor power range is 45–100 HP.
All 1MB models use C-type knives and offer a tillage depth of 13–18 cm. The number of blades increases from 36 to 54 as the working width increases.
This series provides different width options for buyers who need to match a rotary tiller with a medium-power tractor while maintaining a practical working width.
1MC Series: Wider Working Width for Higher-Horsepower Tractors
The 1MC series is designed for larger tractors and wider field coverage.
Available models include:
- 1MC-205
- 1MC-230
- 1MC-250
- 1MC-280
- 1MC-300
The working width ranges from 200 cm to 300 cm, with tractor power requirements from 60 HP to 130 HP.
Like the 1MB series, the 1MC uses C-type knives, with blade quantities ranging from 48 to 72 pieces depending on the working width.
With wider configurations available, the 1MC series can be considered when buyers are looking for a rotary tiller for higher-horsepower tractors and larger working areas.
1GK Series: From Compact to High-Horsepower Configurations
The 1GK series offers the widest range of configurations in this product line.
The smaller models include:
- 1GK-120
- 1GK-140
- 1GK-160
- 1GK-180
- 1GK-200
- 1GK-220
- 1GK-240
These models cover 120–240 cm working widths and 35–90 HP tractor applications.
The larger configurations include:
- 1GK-260
- 1GK-280
- 1GK-300
- 1GK-320
- 1GK-330
- 1GK-360
These models extend the working width to 260–360 cm, with tractor power requirements reaching 80–220 HP depending on the model.
Unlike the 1MB and 1MC series, the 1GK series uses a special cultivation knife configuration, providing another option for buyers with different cultivation requirements.
Check Tractor Compatibility Before Ordering
For a rotary tiller, working width is only one part of the selection process.
Before placing an order, buyers should check several key specifications:
1. Tractor Horsepower
The tractor's available horsepower should match the recommended power range of the selected model.
For example, the 1GK series includes configurations for tractors from around 35 HP up to 220 HP, while the 1MB and 1MC series focus on different power and working-width ranges.
2. Working Width
The available configurations range from 120 cm to 360 cm.
A wider rotary tiller can cover more ground per pass, but it also requires an appropriate tractor and operating conditions.
3. PTO Speed
The 1MB and 1MC configurations support PTO speeds of:
540 / 760 / 800 / 1000 r/min
The 1GK series supports:
540 / 720 r/min
The PTO requirements should therefore be checked against the tractor before selecting a configuration.
4. Three-Point Linkage
All three series use a three-point linkage connection.
Buyers should confirm that the tractor's three-point linkage and lifting capacity are suitable for the selected rotary tiller.
5. Blade Configuration
The 1MB and 1MC series use C-type knives, while the 1GK series uses a special cultivation knife configuration.
Blade quantity also varies according to working width, from 36 pieces on smaller configurations to 108 pieces on the largest 1GK-360 model.
Which MASCHIO-Type Rotary Tiller Configuration Do You Need?
There is no single rotary tiller configuration suitable for every tractor or application.
A practical selection should start with:
Tractor horsepower → Working width → PTO speed → Three-point linkage → Blade configuration → Working conditions
For example:
- 35–50 HP tractor: smaller 1GK configurations
- 45–100 HP tractor: 1MB or selected 1GK configurations
- 60–130 HP tractor: 1MC or selected 1MB/1GK configurations
- 100 HP and above: larger 1MC or 1GK configurations
- 150–220 HP tractor: larger 1GK configurations
The exact model should still be selected according to the tractor specifications and actual working requirements.
Looking for a MASCHIO-Type Rotary Tiller?
CXNOFIA supplies multiple rotary tiller configurations for different tractor power ranges and working widths.
